Chapter 366 I'm Really Sorry for Everything

After the matter with Dr. Vier was settled, I brought Dr. Vier along with me back to Lilia-san’s mansion.

Of course, the reason Dr. Vier was with me was to explain the situation to Lilia-san and the others…… Saying that she personally wanted to give them a proper explanation because they got involved in this matter, so she came back with me using my Teleportation Magic Tool.

Incidentally, Neun-san said that she would accompany us…… But it seemed like Neun-san was quite exhausted from her fight with Lilia-san, as Dr. Vier gave her the doctor’s stop order.

In particular, the bones where Lilia-san had struck her seemed to have been broken. The fracture itself was healed by Dr. Vier’s Recovery Magic, but she still told her to get some rest for the day because she was very tired.

Neun-san was still trying to accompany us though, saying some kind of incomprehensible super-theory of “It doesn’t really matter whether I broke a bone or two, I can handle myself well with my fighting spirit”, but Dr. Vier had to almost force her to leave.

Or rather, Neun-san, even though she broke her breast bone…… ribs, she still ate all that food with me…… It’s once again making me realize that she’s also one heck of a superwoman.

Well, according to Neun-san, if it’s really just a few broken bones, they would completely heal after a night of rest. I’m not sure whether this is because she has the body of a Demon or because of the fact that Neun-san was a monster, but at any rate, I’m relieved to know that nothing serious happened.

And now, we’ve reached the office where Lilia-san, Lunamaria-san and Sieg-san are waiting. Knocking on the office’s door, Dr. Vier and I went inside.

Well, Dr. Vier’s klutziness slightly showed again…… It was a sliding door, but she kept on trying to push it open, so it took us a little while to get in after we knocked……

[Welcome back, Kaito-san. Also, welcome, Dr. Vier.]

[I’m back.]

[It’s been a while, Lilia-chan and Sieg-chan. As for Lu-chan, we just met the other day, didn’t we?]

[Arehh? Dr. Vier, you were acquainted with them?]

[Ahh, unnn. I’ve met them a few times through Lu-chan.]

It is true that Dr. Vier was Noir-san’s doctor, so it isn’t surprising that she knew Lilia-san and Sieg-san through Lunamaria-san.

[……All three of you, I’m really sorry for the trouble I caused you this time.]

[N- No…… Please don’t worry about it. It’s just that, ummm, embarrassing it may be to say this, but we didn’t really understand what was going on so…… It would be great if you could explain to us the situation.]

[Unnn. Of course, I will properly explain it to you…… Errr, where should I start……]

As they were acquaintances from the start, the explanation of the situation began rather smoothly. Dr. Vier began to explain the situation, saying one word after another, as if she was recalling them.

……After Dr. Vier finished explaining, the office was dead silent.

The fact that the Demon Lord was actually alive and that it was Dr. Vier would certainly be shocking. In the room where this truth was told, the first person to move was Lunamaria-san.

Lunamaria-san’s eyes were wide open, looking stunned, and she collapsed on the floor, she muttered.

[……N- No way…… “Big Sister” Vier…… was the Demon Lord?]

[Unnn. I’m sorry I hid it from you for so long, Lu-chan.]

[Ahh, n- no!? Ahh…… U- Ummm, t- that’s not it!]

Lunamaria-san certainly looked surprised, but for some reason, her face turned pale as she shouted.

[I- I just talked about the general image of the Demon Lord spoken in legends…… I- It’s not like I’m making fun of you, Big Sister Vier!!!]

……Ahh, I see. Speaking of which, I remembered Lunamaria-san dissing the Demon Lord very badly.

The Demon Lord turning out to actually be an acquaintance of hers and someone she adores to the point of calling her Big Sister, she panicked and hurriedly explained herself.

[No. Don’t worry about it. In fact, just as Lu-chan said, I’ve been a terrible fool.]

[T- That’s not it! Big Sister Vier isn’t that kind of person! I- If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have said such a thing!]

[Ehh? Ah, u- unnn. Thanks? Errr, are you not mad at me for hiding it from you?]

[I’m not! There’s no way I can hate Big Sister Vier…… Rather, for always unknowingly saying horrible things to you…… I- I’m sorry.]

Apparently, Lunamaria-san really adores Dr. Vier, and is more shocked by the fact that she had unknowingly insulted Dr. Vier than when she found out her true identity as that Demon Lord.

Seeing Lunamaria-san apologizing in an unimaginably meek manner, Dr. Vier flusteredly appeased her.

Watching that scene, Sieg also calmly spoke to sort out her surprise.

[……For Dr. Vier to be the Demon Lord…… That is quite the surprise. However, just like Luna, I also don’t feel any anger. Rather, I can’t thank you enough for explaining the difficult situation to us.]

[……Sieg-chan.]

[That’s right! Regardless of your past, Big Sister Vier is still Big Sister Vier!]

[……Lu-chan.]

Lunamaria-san and Sieg-san, both of whom know the current Dr. Vier, say that they wouldn’t despise her even if they knew her past.

Hearing this, Dr. Vier smiled happily and patted Lunamaria-san’s head.

[…………………]

However, in the midst of such an atmosphere, Lilia-san didn’t say a word and only stared at Dr. Vier.

[……Lilia-chan, I’m sorry for surprising you…… and for causing you trouble.]

[………………..]

[M- My Lady! Please don’t condemn Big Sister Vier. She’s suffered a lot too!]

[………………..]

[……My Lady?]

Lilia-san still didn’t say anything. She just stared straight at Dr. Vier, “not moving an inch”…… Arehh? Doesn’t it seem like something’s off with her?

When such a question popped in my mind, Lunamaria-san tilted her head in wonder as well and approached Lilia-san.

Then, after Lunamaria-san waved her hand a few times in front of Lilia-san’s face…… Lilia-san still didn’t move.

[……It seems like…… “she fainted”.]

[……Lili…… So you’re now able to faint even with your eyes open huh, how dexterous of you……]

She fainted with her eyes open!? A- A new pattern huh…… No, it’s not like I’m looking for such variations in the way she faints but……

It seems like Dr. Vier’s story had exceeded Lilia-san’s tolerance level, and she had fainted in the middle of the conversation.

[T- This is bad! I need to use Resuscitation Magic immediately……]

[Eh? Ahh, Big Sister Vier!?]

Dr. Vier, not used to such a situation with Lilia-san, approached the fainted Lilia-san with a worried expression on her face, and held out her hand with a small magic circle floating on it.

Thereupon, light overflowed from Dr. Vier’s hand and Lilia-san’s petrified eyes moved.

[A- Arehh? What was I……]

[Lilia-chan!? Are you okay? You suddenly fainted…… Could it be that you’ve gathered quite the fatigue in your body? Do you feel any pain?]

[N- No, I’m alright…… Hahaha, I’m sorry. It’s just that…… I had this weird dream that Dr. Vier was actually the Demon Lord……]

[U- Unnn. I am the Demon Lord though?]

[……Eh?]

[W- Well, as I said, I’m a Demon who used to be called the Demon Lord……]

[A- Ahaha, i- is that so. I- It wasn’t a dream huh…… Y- Yes, you were the Demon Lord huh. I know what the Demon Lord is…… Dr. Vier is…… the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord is Dr. Vier…… Thus, the Demon Lord is the Demon Lord…… Kyuuu~~]

[Lilia-chan!? Pull yourself together!]

Right after she got up, she immediately fainted for the second time…… Lilia-san, ummm…… I’m sorry.

As Lilia-san fainted with her eyes rolling upwards, Dr. Vier flusteredly supported her body. Unnn, this is that, right……? I feel like she’s going to wake up and pass out a few more times.

[……I guess I’ll go make some tea.]

[……I’m going to bring food to Bell-chan and Lynn-chan.]

Dear Mom, Dad———– Dr. Vier explained the situation to Lilia-san and the others. I don’t know if I should say that it was to be expected or not, but Lilia-san fainted again. Unn, how should I say this———— I’m really sorry for everything.

ach medicine…… She would need more of them.
